Hola!!

I’m here. Freddy sucked balls. You’re a number 1 goalie in a big market. You Have to be better then he was.

End of story.

Campbell goes in tomorrow and has a shutout.

Andersen gets next start and pooptts the bed.

Andersen somehow has leash but doesn’t deserve it anymore. Leafs have a capable backup that can take hold of the net, no more dodging Freddie’s feelings.

Not sure why so much blame is being heaped on Freddy. Rielly was -4. Brodie was -3. I think they need to be better around their own net. Chabot, on the other hand, was +4.

Probably because he’s only watching the highlights.

He probably has a team that sets him up with a couple videos and he forms his opinion.

There is no way he is watching 4 games at once. His takes probably aren’t terrible if he watched the game from beginning to end.

- bryant


OK sure, but there is a difference between questioning a hot take and questioning a very straightforward video segment that CLEARLY shows the problem.

Honestly,

Think back over the last few years to those games where the Leafs fell apart and looked hopeless. It was one of those games. There was a shift were Marner and Matthews could not complete a pass between them.

It should have been embarrassing for them.

- Aetherial

They play like they're 4x stanley cup champs.

They havent even won a (frank)ing round.

Crazy thing about testing though. As I mentioned a while ago, my Grand Nephew who is 4 needs surgery. He’s tested positive, negative, positive, negative. Like wtf. Poor kid has a melt down every time he gets tested, and they are no further along.
- Woderwick


Oh that is sad Woder. It is tough when kids have to go through that stuff.

Why not. They're like 23 and they are paid like they have won 4 cups.

It’s so frustrating being a fan of this team. There’s no way that they shouldn’t dominate the Sens.

Al MacInnis could score from center ice. Five players on the ice were a negative.

. They randomly tested healthy people in Iceland months ago and half of them had it.

Yes, the frustrating part is that they clearly have the talent. They just don't have the work ethic and they don't seem to really care. Watching Matthews ' interview after the game, it was as if they just lost a tough one because of a bad bounce or a breakdown.

I am NOT blaming Matthews in this case, but it seems like this is the attitude of this team. It is like they are incapable of seeing how badly they should be embarrassed. They believe they are Stanley Cup contenders and yet don't see a problem that they just got fed by a team that would struggle to be competitive in the A.

- Aetherial

What’s really sad is the fact that I keep calling the re-test a “ tie breaker”. I can’t help myself. Freakin sports...I get looks from my wife every time.

Kids gone through a lot in his 4 years. Tough little dude. Cute as can be too.

That mild dislike of Matthews that you have, I feel the same way about Marner. He reminds me of a golfer with the yips.

I have a real problem hearing or seeing kids going through stuff. I was a basket case when my son, almost 4, had to have hernia surgery. He did not speak English, so we could not explain to him what was going on. He looked so scared when they were putting him under and he had a death grip on my hand. I completely lost it. A nurse had to walk me out of the operating room.

Unfortunately, Marner is entering the same category for me, a guy with HUGE talent, and very little heart.

It is like this is the culture of the whole team. They need to find where it is coming from and get rid of them. Adding broken down old guys did NOTHING to address the problems that should be clear by now.

That’s why they play the game. Have to prove it it’s not on paper. Sens get knocked like they are the Wings which is far from the truth. In sports nothing is a guarantee. It’s only 1 game after all. Lets see how they respond will be the next test.

Marner has decided he's a shooter and it's not going well. It's got his whole game off.

I don't think having a grandpa on the other wing who's 'the passer' is helping the situation, he's a mile behind every play and seems to kill more offense than he creates.

That experiment should die now and never be brought back to life.

From what I know about you on here, I can envision how tough that would be for you.

This little guy has been going through this since day one, he was born with a heart defect. Hospitals are routine for the little guy.

What is the defect Woder? Is it something they can correct?

I agree but also thought JT wasn’t being totally honest & he is the C. Sometimes he has to be blunt imo.

Of all the Leafs AM is far from being ridiculed. Willy also to a degree. JT has put up the points but I’m with an earlier poster it should be AM as captain.
